LIFTING MY TRIMARAN USING WOOD AND JACKS..... What could go wrong? | Ep.122 

Nothing sketchy there that I saw ;) well done lad. You've got the job done with what you had to hand and with that attitude, you'll go far. Just a word of advice from an old man, I wouldn't consider a career in occupational health and safety if I was you, it'd drive you nuts.

You are an amazing engineer tinker creator!

I'm watching you go back and forth so many times. I'll bet you wish you had another person there.

Great episode Alex👌👏👏 it was like a day in the life of me ! 😂 you’re now officially my favourite RU-vid channel 🏆

Thanks Alex yes is there nothing you cannot do You are a busy man Have a good one

I think everyone been jacking up their boat lol 😂 done mine few months ago

Very impressive

Brave!

Alex, Alex Alex! You are a man of many talents! Is there anything that you can’t do, another impressive episode. You made me nervous to say the least. The bloody trailer looks like it would move the queen Mary. Have the Happiest of Christmas with the family. Rob

Looks good to me. Good job all round especially tough doing it alone. When i lifted my Hawk (650 kg) for antifoul the support frame ended up leaning with the boat on it as i pulled the trailer away lol. Maybe round off the corners on the side support frames. It will hurt less if you walk into one.

Looks good Alex. I prefer the trailer being as long as it is out the back, it protects the vulnerable rudder when towing and its all galvanised. If you cut it shorter you would create a break in it causing a vulnerability for corrosion. Even though your cradles are great and will support the hull good, the boat will have to be floated on and off, the beauty of the rollers the trailer had is that the would push off easily. My 22ft powerboat it moves with one hand, even sat out the water. I can launch it without getting the wheel bearings wet, which is handy...

Nice one Alex another great vlog, love your calmness although I suspect in real time there was a fair bit bit of industrial language and bum clinching going on lol 😮

A bit sketchy, but well thought out. Good job. Would I try that? Maybe forty years ago.

the age old question, is it stupid if it works?? YES 🤣 yes it s. 🤣🤣🤣🤣 But you pulled it off and still have a boat and all your fingers. Interesting video 2x👍

As they say (people who have to work alone) what ever gets the job. Good on yer.

Heath Robinson comes to mind

Hey Alex, nice job on the new trailer. One thing though on the support for the outriggers i noticed that you double nutted them. Just like on a propeller shaft the thinner nut should be on the inside to tighten down on the bolt or shaft, but the thicker nut should be your locking nut on the outside as it has more threads for locking force against the inner nut. Keep up the good work!!!

Great wk! I never follow too closely behind someone pulling a trailer…

fair play to you keep up the good work

It didn’t look sketchy at all. Same way I would do it. As long as you know your blocking is stable there’s nothing to it.

Great job Alex 👍 that’s a beast of a trailer

Well done sir

At 19:43 the only problem I see there is you have a point load on the cradle. I'm not an expert on fiberglass, so take my comment with a grain of salt. Since you did this a while ago, how did it work out?

Hi Alex, it will be interesting to see if the car is suitable for the combined weight of trailer and boat with all the gear.

It may be a bit inconvenient to arrange a police escort every time you take it out LOL

Is that length legal?

Perfectly a good loan working?
